First Bot
This page describes the current beta flow for creating a bot strategy. Some steps are partially functional pending dashboard UI work in progress.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Before creating a bot strategy, complete the following:
- Create an account.
- Connect your LP wallet so Aegis can detect your active LP positions.
- Generate and add API keys for the exchange you will use for futures hedging.
- Add an execution wallet to the dashboard.
Creating a Bot Strategy
Section titled “Creating a Bot Strategy”-
Select the execution wallet you created for the bot type you want to run. Each execution wallet is bound to one bot type (Bastion, Vanguard, or Orbit) and one exchange. The bot type was set at wallet creation and cannot be changed.
-
Choose the LP position to hedge. Beta / Pending UX — The dashboard LP position selector is being finalized. In the current beta, position selection may require operator assistance.
-
Configure strategy parameters. Set risk parameters such as
capitalBufferPct,triggerBufferPct,stopLossPct, andtakeProfitPct, or select a preset (for examplelower_protectionfor Bastion,bullish_breakoutfor Vanguard,orbit_long_onlyfor Orbit). See Strategy Parameters for the full parameter reference. -
Activate the bot. Beta / Pending UX — The final activation step is being finalized in the dashboard. The bot will begin monitoring your LP position and executing hedges when trigger conditions are met.
After Activation
Section titled “After Activation”Once active, the bot runs its FSM lifecycle:
- Monitoring — the bot watches the on-chain price relative to the LP range and the configured trigger conditions.
- Active Hedge — when a trigger fires, the bot opens a futures position on your execution wallet’s exchange.
- Closing — the hedge is closed when the take-profit, stop-loss, or range re-entry condition is met.
Activity and position state are visible in the dashboard Analytics and Pools View panels.
